[MrLiam]

I wasn't looking at 6ft tanks don't worry


I was looking at 10ft tanks

Yeah I think if i ever change i'll either go Stupid big like 10 x 2 x 2 min or i'll start filling my haouse with tons of nanos.

 

[MrLiam]

Im not going to lie I want it does anybody feel generous and lend me £600?

You don't want that one Liam, much nicer for less 2nd hand. No room in that sump cabinet would be a nightmare for maintenance single standpipe with no durso (noisy?), tiny weir for 6ft so poor surface draw, and strange dimensions.

My 60x24x24 was £300 2nd hand, was custom built a year before for about £1200, unless I wanted a specific size like my 37" Reef not sure I would buy new when there are so many nice 2nd hand tanks about.

If I move house again though I know I will be looking for space on walls for bigger tanks and somewhere with solid concrete floors.

 

[MrLiam]

Oh I thought that looked good but I have no knowledge on sumps and weirs ect thanks I think it will be along way off of getting a 6ft need to move out first

I learn't the hard way with my 3ft as I can't get my arms far enough in the sump. The 5ft is a dream loads of room round the sump for all the spares, food, test kits and some stacking storage boxes, and I can reach in easier. I had a Rena which had open shelves as my tropical tank and it was a pain will never get a cabinet with a shelved section again as it is always more useful to have the whole thing dedicated to fish keeping.
